Thomas Sporrer – Robbin’ Harry (Music Video Recommendation) 🎬

Electro swing and xylophone ragtime inside a museum? 👀✨

If you’re looking for a music video recommendation with an unique atmosphere, “Robbin’ Harry” is definitely worth checking out. Filmed at the WOW Museum in Munich, the video transforms Lawrence Inns’ classic ragtime piece into a playful electro swing experience full of rhythm, colour and vintage charm. 🎶

Behind the project are percussionist Thomas Sporrer and Viennese producer Ulf Lindemann from Dunkelbunt Music. In the video, Thomas performs a dynamic solo for xylophone, vibraphone and drums, bringing even more energy and character to the track. 🥁

Originally played by Thomas during his diploma exam in 2009, “Robbin’ Harry” now returns as a fresh electro swing version with a modern groove.
